[...]Whether in the development of new machines, the production of a plant or in customer support by service staff: The areas of application of digital twins affect more and more areas in the company itself, but also in its environment. In general, a digital twin is understood to be the virtual representation of a physical object that reflects its properties and behaviour at all times. Even if this provides an initial indication of what a digital twin is, the lack of a uniform definition makes it difficult to imagine what a digital twin looks like, what benefits are associated with it – and why HUBER is[...]

[...]Mannheim, Germany First of three HUBER Belt Dryer BT 22 units in regular operation Back in 2017, HUBER received the order to modernise the sludge drying system of Stadtentwässerung Mannheim on the site of the Mannheim wastewater treatment plant. Three HUBER Belt Dryer BT units of size 22 replace the two older drum dryers. The modernisation of the sewage sludge drying system not only includes the dismantling of the old drum dryers and the construction of the new belt dryers. The entire heating concept was also adapted to the new medium-temperature belt dryers. The objective of Stadtentwässerung[...]

[...]Medellin, Colombia HUBER Belt Dryer BT 30 in Colombia Located in the second largest Colombian city of Medellin, the new Bello wastewater treatment plant (2.75 million population equivalents) with a maximum inflow of 6.5 m³/s went already into operation in mid-2018. For drying the sewage sludge treated in the 6 digesters, the HUBER Schrader-Camargo consortium installed the proven HUBER Belt Dryer BT, thus implementing an international mega project. The contract value for the consortium for the construction of the turnkey drying plant is over 44 million Euros. Every day 310 tons of dewatered [...]

[...]Egypt A sewage treatment plant is under construction in Egypt, in the east of the Suez Canal, for the treatment of wastewater and agricultural wastewater from the sewer system Bahr El-Baqar. To ease the water shortage in the Sinai region, the clarified water will be returned to the El-Salam canal and serve for the irrigation of agricultural land on the Sinai Peninsula. With a total capacity of 5 million m³ per day, this plant will be the biggest water treatment plant in the world. Huge amounts of sludge are generated in the different treatment processes on the wastewater treatment plant. This[...]

[...]Wackersdorf, Germany The aim of the waste management industry is the processing of sands and mineral waste into recyclable fractions. Decisive for the competitiveness of a waste management company is the economic acceptance and treatment of the input material. Especially the low operating costs as well as the low maintenance requirements of the HUBER machine technology form the basis for the economic efficiency of the sand treatment process. Furthermore, HUBER technology ensures a consistently high quality of the recyclable fractions. This, in turn, provides the waste management company with planning[...]

[...]South Padre Island, TX, USA In the southernmost part of Texas, not far from the Mexican border and directly on the Gulf of Mexico, lies the headland of South Padre Island. This place is made for holidays, with sun, sand and sea. From February to October, streams of tourists roll there on the fine sandy beach and enjoy the waves and the warmth, which is about 40°C during the day. As there is also a high humidity of over 90%, the best place to spend the day is in the sea or at the pool. The exposed location of South Padre Island has of course also its disadvantage. Many people take a shower several [...]

[...]Shanghai, China Megacities and their problem with construction waste Example: Shanghai Beside Beijing and Hong Kong, Shanghai is one of the most important industrial locations and market places in the People’s Republic of China. In the recent years, the city has had a remarkable growth spurt. Fifty years ago, about seven million people were living in the metropolitan area Shanghai, today the city has more than 25 million inhabitants. Along with the city’s growth came innumerable building projects with huge amounts of construction waste and other waste products. More and more of such material [...]

[...]Rehau, Germany HUBER Longitudinal Grit Trap ROTAMAT® Ro6 Bio and HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E increase operating reliability and reduce operating costs Bioenergiezentrum Hochfranken (BEZ) is an association of the town Rehau, the administrative districts Hof and Wunsiedel and some local companies supplying the town and districts with regenerative energy. Beside different plants from the companies involved, the biowaste fermentation plant is at the heart of the new concept. The fermentation plant treats the biowaste of the munipalities involved, covering nearly 40% of the local primary energy demand. [...]

[...]The aerated grit trap is a very important element in mechanical wastewater treatment. Its task is not only to reliably remove the grit from the wastewater flow but also to retain particulate lipophilic substances (grease) to prevent floatable particles from settling or overflowing in downstream treatment systems. Fine grit of a grain size ≥ 75 µm can usually not be separated by conventional aerated longitudinal grit traps as the rising air counteracts the continuous sedimentation of small particles. Very long, wide and voluminous structures are already required if you want to remove grit of a [...]

[...]Niebüll, Germany 2 HUBER Complete Plant ROTAMAT® Ro5 units for 100 l/s on STP Niebüll in Northern Germany Those who know the regions up in the north will know where the town Niebüll is located: It is a holiday destination in the northernmost part of Germany at the North Sea from where also the motorail train crosses the Hindenburg Dam to the village Westerland on the island of Sylt. These special circumstances naturally played a major role for the engineering office Ivers in Husum when planning the preliminary wastewater treatment stage on STP Niebüll. It had to be taken into account that the [...]
